Visual Guidelines
In order to provide faster access to courses for Students and Faculty alike, standards surrounding the posting of Announcements must be instituted in MyCanvas. These standards will ensure that there is consistent messaging of approved relevant content being posted, helping to unencumber access to course material. This methodology has been reviewed and approved by CTLI as well as Communications and Marketing.
- Elimination of images
- Single line title indicating subject of announcement
- Maximum of 600 characters in the announcement body (approximately 100 words)
- Hyperlink to the flyer/announcements hosted on either MyMohawk or mohawkollege.ca (or other approved source)
